The Complete DIY Guide to Updating Your Mach-E with FDRS

[Mike G]

Ummmm......I know we've had back-to-back GWM updates before...but I'm kinda surprised that again this morning I now have yet another GWM update that will take me from "-FAS" to apparently "-FAT".

So yesterday when I was returned to the available software screen after doing the "-FAR" to "-FAS" revision and there was another GWM update I thought it was because the one I had just done didn't clear properly. But there is a new one again this morning.

Heading out now to do this new one now. This is weird.

So I did the "-FAS" to "-FAT" gateway update and literally the DID F188 was the only thing that changed.

So after checking 4 more '23 models it turns out that yesterday's "-FAS" revision was some sort of mistake.......every '23 model I've checked this morning is now showing "-FAR" as their current revision but they will be jumping straight to "-FAT" whenever their gateway is updated and skipping "-FAS" altogether.

So strange.
I would love to know the real story. The conversations that you KNOW took place amongst the folks that have the necessary rights/credentials for loading the Motorcraft software queues.

If there was a boo-boo in the one they released yesterday, kudos to them for catching it right away and pulling it before it spiraled out of control.

Between May 5th and yesterday the Bluecruise map got updated.
GWM 9140 MU5T-14H394-AAT -> MU5T-14H394-AAU

I assume this is just BC and doesn't add in Tesla Superchargers to navigation?

Correct. It is road information that Bluecruise uses. This information is updated several times a year.

Not really concerned per se. They just rolled out a fix for the fix they rolled out the day before.

Make me wonder what they discovered which made them think "Oh ?"

Yeah, this was the one that was floating around as an urgent fix for the lockout right? I pushed the one yesterday but my 3 day FDRS window isn't up now.

A few F150's reported back-to-back GWM OTA's yesterday. ECG-24.2.4.10 followed by ECG-24.2.5.6.2. Maybe it was not a fix for a fix but an update that needed to be done in 2 parts.

Well maybe for F-150s but all the '23 model MMEs that had a gateway update going from -FAR to -FAS on the 14th now all have -FAR to -FAT one day later (yesterday). And the MMEs that have gotten the gateway as an OTA got the -FAT revision.

Yea, strats are different, but release notes seem to line up.
